The Oscars may be the most prestigious of film awards, but that doesn’t mean they always get it right. Over their 90-year history, the ways they’ve changed (and haven’t) and the people they’ve awarded (and haven’t) are frequently filled with head-scratching shockers. For instance, can you believe that between 1929 and 2002 the length of the show expanded by nearly 1800 per cent? Don’t answer that. It’ll just make things take longer.

These stats show that you don’t have to announce the wrong Best Picture to rank alongside Oscar’s biggest surprises.
